Hello,
I broke off one of the pins on a three pin male connecter attached to my mother board. I'm currently looking around for a replacement part. I am comfortable and confident with replacing it myself. I would still really appreciate some advice.
My laptop always beeps continuously whenever it requires more power. So now i cant play any games that requires more fan power, which is annoying to say the least.
Where can i purchase specialty parts to replace the broken connector?
How would you repair this issue yourself?
Ill post images of the fan model, connectors, and broken parts.

I really appreciate the help!

Edit:
I cannot find a similar part, so im thinking about taking off the the connectors and hard wiring them to the motherboard.

That's probably fixable, but you're gonna have to find a really special technician and it probably won't be cheap.
Just get a new motherboard and you're fine.
Depending on what is broken, I think you might be able to plug the fan still, but it will run at full speed all the time.(not sure about this)

bad is it not really replace able without special hardware you can't just take any old soldering iron to replace it the type of solder technic is micro it possible if you find someone who fixes laptop motherboards but it better too get a replacement motherboard.
